These peanut butter cookies are everything you want in a classic: thick, chewy centers, that signature crosshatch pattern on top, and a deep, salty-sweet peanut butter flavor in every bite. Creamy peanut butter and brown sugar work together to keep the texture soft in the middle with just enough crisp around the edges, while a roll in granulated sugar before baking gives them that sparkly, crackled finish. The dough comes together quickly in one bowl, so you're never far from warm cookies fresh off the baking sheet. Simple pantry staples like flour, baking soda, and vanilla round out the batter, letting the peanut butter really shine as the star flavor. They're sturdy enough to pack for lunches or stack on a plate for a bake sale, and they hold their shape and chew beautifully once cooled. This one's an easy, reliable pick to add to your vegan cookie lineup.

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
